Six-Year Outcome of Lentigo Maligna Treated With “Spaghetti” Technique and Margin Identification by Reflectance Confocal Microscopy

If the authors cluster the 3 principal studies in terms of cohort and follow-up time for LM/LMM treated by Wide local Excision, the recurrence rate is from 5.3% to 5.9%, which is equivalent to the authors'. However, the mean margin excision from lesion is more than 2 times inferior in the authors' protocol (2.7 mm vs 6.7 mm). Therefore, the spaghetti technique with RCM margin identification seems to be an effective method for LM/LMM management.

Abstract

If the authors cluster the 3 principal studies in terms of cohort and follow-up time for LM/LMM treated by Wide local Excision, the recurrence rate is from 5.3% to 5.9%, which is equivalent to the authors'. However, the mean margin excision from lesion is more than 2 times inferior in the authors' protocol (2.7 mm vs 6.7 mm). Therefore, the spaghetti technique with RCM margin identification seems to be an effective method for LM/LMM management.
